> Browser editors with Amharic controls and Ethiopic typing. These links describe the pinned browser editions; desktop features may differ.

English is the default at the root URLs. Complete Amharic documentation is available under /am/. Each page links to its equivalent in the other language.

## Editors

- [Photo 0.9.0](https://photo.et/editor/): Edit photographs and layered graphics in your browser with selections, masks, color adjustments, painting, editable text, vector shapes and image export.

## Usage and privacy

These are browser applications, not document-processing API endpoints. Editing and Amharic input run locally in the user’s browser. Opened files and typed content are not uploaded to our servers for processing. Saving or exporting creates a local file; website assets still make normal hosting requests. No account is required. Save before closing, reloading or switching editors.

Feature and format support refers to the pinned browser releases listed above. Consult each editor overview for import/export compatibility and browser limitations; upstream desktop documentation may describe unavailable services.
